SWS V2 displays an error if a mismatch in the protocol exists, as illustrated below.

Similarly, if you provide a username and/or password in the query parameters, it is ignored.

SWS V2 supports different formats for response. The supported formats are TEXT, XML and JSON. However, there are certain web services that only support TEXT and JSON. For information on the supported formats for a particular web service, see the StorNext Web Services Guide online at http://www.quantum.com/snsdocs.

Quantum recommends JSON as the preferred format since most web services support this format. XML is also supported, but it is primarily used for compatibility with existing applications.
